We're replacing the conveyor belts.

We actually don't have the bands that link the ends of the conveyor belts. So this project is on hold for the time being so I went up on the scissor lift to get a couple more pictures.

@Der Seeteufel - SD that sounds like a great hobby project. We were driving through some corn fields today, it was compelling

I just got done pulling the plates out of a 24 row corn planter only to have the 36 row planter pull into the shop.

It's a good thing I'm not afraid of heights.

Harvest has begun

@Der Seeteufel - SD how’s the arm?

It's good. I've got full use of it as long as I don't bump into anything.

Combining with the wind. It gets a little dusty

Getting ready to move on to the next field driving down the highway with this header should be fun.

I love my job!

Another great sunset.

I went and put the header down on the bumblebee. It was triggering my autism worse than the John Deeres being out of order.

#4 is almost ready to go.

Saw this and thought of you @Der Seeteufel - SD https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eicqRLGfFw0

@Grossly Incandescent it's pretty much exactly like that.

I’m guessing that field must be very dry for that 18 wheeler to not get stuck.

It's dry there that's why that grain cart has such big tires though. That's what goes out in the field with the combines so we can dump on the move.

What brand tires do y'all buy for your agricultural equipment?

Pretty much what ever is cheapest or comes with the equipment.

The tractor I'm in right now has Michelin.

Do you see any significant variations in tire performance between brands or models when you replace them? Like how long they last, their resistance to punctures, their level of grip in soggy conditions, etc?

I haven't been around long enough yet but I'd say it probably isn't that noticeable. According to my boss some different brands are literally produced in the same factory and just get a different name stamped on the side. They are internally identical.

Double jump start. Don't try this at home.

You all don’t want me to sperg out on tires. There are many differences in the brands. The type of work Andrews equipment is in doesn’t effect them very much but in many conditions they do.

So we had a hydraulic rupture on the mower tractor.

Luckily we have bigger tractors.

We probably didn't need to go that big it's just the one we had in the yard. That's why we needed the jump start.

The trials of being a farmer. When your stuff is broken you need to fix your other equipment to get it going again.
